    OH I didnt see your last one!!! MOVIES WITHOUT POPCORN???????????? You are kidding, right??? So it IS possible????? Oh the joyous day that will be!!! ÜÜ:heart:


    Hehehe....It was almost distracting at first....all I think of was the people behind me munching and the popcorn smell...... now I sneak in a water bottle with crystal light and sip it during the movie. Takes practice and determination but, it can be done. :)

    I thought I'd never . . .

    love the way I look in my clothes.
    be able to give up junk snacks and not miss them.
    eat only 1/2 of a three musketeers candy bar and not eat the rest because it was way too sweet.
    wish I hadn't eaten the first half of that three musketeers candy bar because it was way too sweet.
    get rid of my big ole butt!
    have an hour glass figure ever again but I've got a slight one. YAAAAAY!!!

    I thought I'd never . . .

    Pass up the ice cream isle without so much as a wistful look.

    Say, "I really don't want a cheeseburger for lunch today" and mean it.

    Actually WANT to get up early in the morning and eat breakfast (big deal for me because I'm not a morning person!).

    Run up and down my rather steep stairs without breathing heavily.

    Thought I would never give up my morning mochas.
    Thought I would NEVER EVER survive the circuit training class at my gym, let alone have it become my favorite class of the week!
    Thought I would feel strong enough to WANT to go back to work; I now feel I know how to balance work and family and still have time for ME because I respect ME now! (I got a new job and I start 8/25!)

    I never thought I'd...

    - run a half-marathon.
    -plan what to eat ahead of time when I go to a restaurant.
    -walk to work every day.
    -know so much about nutrition.

    I really never thought I'd find a plan that actually works for me.

    Thanks MFP and thanks to all the inspirational people on here!:flowerforyou:

    hey, I like your avatar. ;)

    I thought I'd never...throw out 1/2 a chocolate cake! (I'll do a separate post about this)
    I'm a member of the clean plate club. I hate wasting food! So this is something I'm working on.

    Ok, so this is for 'I never though'.....I just started this today so mine will be a bit different. These are the nevers I feel right now.

    I'll never look in a mirror and be happy.
    I'll never wear a bathing suit and not feel like a whale.
    I'll never be able to stick to my goals for weight loss.
    I'll never like the way clothes fit.

    Now my goal is to take all the 'I never thought's' everyone else had and make that my insiration to make mine go away.

    Love to see people achieving success.
